“Prescription Drug Take Back Day allows Arkansans to drop off any unwanted medications, no questions asked, for proper disposal,” said Attorney General Rutledge. “It can be dangerous to keep unused prescription medications. These pills need to be properly disposed of to avoid them falling into the wrong hands and harming loved ones or the environment. I encourage all Arkansans to clean out their medicine cabinets and participate in the take back day.”

Attorney General Rutledge released the following list of medications that will be accepted at these events across the State.

Opioids, such as OxyContin

Stimulants, such as Adderall

Depressants, such as Ativan

Other prescription medications

Over-the-counter medicines

Vitamins

Pet medicines

Medicated ointments and lotions

Inhalers

Liquid medicines in glass or leak-proof containers (up to 12 ounces)

Medicine samples

Medications may be returned in the original bottle or in any other container for increased privacy.

Properly destroying these medications protects the environment. Medicines that are flushed or poured down the drain can end up polluting waters, which could contaminate food and water supplies. Many medicines are not removed by wastewater treatment plants or septic systems. Turning over these medications at Take Back Day events also reduces the risk of accidental poisonings by children, seniors or pets, as well as reduces the risk of drug abuse.

Rutledge is partnering with the Arkansas Department of Health, the Department of Human Services, Arkansas National Guard, Arkansas Rotary Clubs, Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy, Office of the State Drug Director, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and over 130 additional law enforcement and government agencies, community organizations and public health providers who comprise the Arkansas Prescription Drug Coalition planning the annual Prescription Drug Abuse Summit scheduled Thursday, Nov. 3 in Little Rock.

No government agency will ever request payment using an iTunes card or any gift card.

Ask yourself if this could be a scam before reacting and turning over any amount of money.

Never give the serial number of a loaded gift card or wire money based on any unsolicited phone call.

Verify the information given by the caller. Call the family member or government agency directly, and remember that scammers can spoof caller ID systems.

The FTC has reported that phony IRS agents are telling consumers they owe back taxes and would be arrested soon unless they buy a gift card and turn over the code. Con artists posing as government grant officers promise a big payout after the consumer purchases a gift card and reads them the code. While other scammers have convinced consumers that their grandchild is in jail and the only way to help is to buy a gift card and give them the code, according to the FTC.

The FTC has received reports of scammers requesting iTunes and Amazon gift cards or prepaid debit cards like MoneyPak, Reloadit or Vanilla. Once the code is turned over, the criminal has control of the card value. Once the value is redeemed, the consumer cannot get the money back.

Call the company from which the card was redeemable to, and the card can be disabled if the money has not yet been spent. Report this scam to FTC.gov.

Arkansans who receive a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS or asking for money are encouraged to call the IRS at (800) 829-1040 or file a complaint online at FTCComplaintAssist.gov by using the words “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes.
